Surgical treatment and mid-term results of functional single ventricle associated with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To evaluate the mid-term results of surgical treatment for functional single ventricle associated with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Methods    We reviewed the clinical data and follow-up results of 12 patients in our hospital who underwent both single ventricle series palliation and total anomalous pulmonary venous connection correction from 2008 to 2018. There were 6 males and 6 females at age of 2.3 (1-21) years. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression methods were performed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival rate. Results    All patients were successfully removed from extracorporeal circulation. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was 113.8±42.5 min. The myocardial block time was 57.7±31.7 min. There were 3 in-hospital deaths and 4 late deaths. The causes of death in hospital were pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary hemorrhage, and hypoxemia. During follow-up, the cause of death was heart failure. The survival rate at 1 year and 3 years was 58.3%(95%CI 27% to 80%) and 40% (95%CI 13% to 65%), respectively. Median follow-up was 48.3 months (range 1 to 118 months). Conclusion    Functional single ventricle combined with complete pulmonary venous drainage is a serious clinical disease, with poor therapeutic effect and high overall mortality.
